Definitions
- This invention relates to a process for the synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) through the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).
- FDCA 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid
- HMF 5-hydroxymethylfurfural
- 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is an oxidised derivative of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural which is useful as a monomer in the manufacture of plastics, in particular polyesters. Also, as HMF is in turn obtained from sugars, it is a derivative of raw materials which are widely available in nature.
- Patent application US 2008/0103318 describes a method for the oxidation of HMF catalysed by supported platinum. Again in this case emphasis is placed on the variation in selectivity as a function of pH, which must be maintained at a value of not more than 7, possibly through the use of weak bases such as carbonates and bicarbonates. 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is one of the oxidation products described.
- the metal catalysts used in the methods for the oxidation of HMF described above are however subject to poisoning and consequent loss of catalytic activity. This means that although supported catalysts that can be easily recovered are used it is frequently necessary to replace or regenerate the catalyst, adding costs to the already expensive use of precious metals such as platinum.
- Patent application FR 2 669 634 provides an example of catalyst recycling to overcome this drawback.
- the abovementioned document describes a process for the synthesis of FDCA comprising the oxidation of HMF catalysed by platinum in aqueous medium in a flow of oxygen, in which recycling is possible because the catalyst is enriched with specific quantities of lead.
- the process for the synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid according to this invention has the particular advantage that it provides a high yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid using a limited quantity of catalyst.
- the latter may also be recycled several times while maintaining its specific catalytic activity.
- This invention relates in particular to a process for the selective synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid through the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in a flow of oxygen, catalysed by a supported catalyst containing a metal of the platinum group, the said process being carried out in aqueous solution at a pH that is maintained higher than 7 and lower than 12 through the addition of a weak base selected from the group consisting of sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, dibasic and tribasic phosphate buffer solutions and their mixtures.
- This process provides for the use of quantities of catalyst of between 1:60 and 1:500, in moles with respect to HMF. It also provides for the possibility of recycling the catalyst several times in the reaction mixture while maintaining the reaction yield above 90%.
- the starting material in the process according to this invention is 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).
- HMF may be obtained by the dehydration of sugars, in particular hexoses such as fructose and glucose.
- Said sugars may be obtained by the hydrolysis and possible isomerisation of cellulose or polysaccharides containing biomass.
- the HMF is thus obtained from cellulose or polysaccharides containing biomass.
- Cellulose or polysaccharides containing biomass are examples of raw materials which are widely available in nature and as such are a renewable source for HMF.
- the dehydration reaction may be performed by many techniques which generally use acid catalysts and may or may not use aqueous and non-aqueous solvents.
- the HMF used as the starting material for the process according to the invention may possibly contain by-products from the processing of sugars, polysaccharides or cellulosic biomasses.
- the oxidation of HMF takes place in aqueous solution and does not require the help of organic solvents in that the pH conditions have the effect that the product of the oxidation reaction present in dissociated form is readily soluble in water, as is HMF.
- An aqueous solution at HMF concentration up to 30% by weight is advantageously used; HMF concentrations comprised between 0.5 and 20% by weight are preferred, and HMF concentrations comprised between 1 and 10% by weight are even more preferred.
- the oxidising substance responsible for the oxidation of HMF is oxygen or a compound containing oxygen.
- the reaction is performed by passing a flow of O 2 into the reactor.
- the catalyst used is based on platinum or a metal belonging to the platinum group; the use of platinum or palladium is particularly preferred.
- This catalyst is advantageously used in supported form.
- the most suitable materials for providing a support for the said catalyst are carbon or alumina.
- the supporting material may possibly be in the form of a nanostructure, and contains the catalyst in a quantity which is preferably between 1 and 10% by weight.
- the catalyst comprises 5% by weight of Pt supported on carbon.
- the catalyst used in the process according to this invention is used in small quantities in comparison with the quantity of reagent.

Description
- This invention relates to a process for the synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) through the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF).
- 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is an oxidised derivative of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural which is useful as a monomer in the manufacture of plastics, in particular polyesters. Also, as HMF is in turn obtained from sugars, it is a derivative of raw materials which are widely available in nature.
- Processes for the oxidation of HMF through which 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid can be obtained as the main product are known in the literature.
- Document
US 4,977,283 (Hoechst ) describes a method for the oxidation of HMF in the presence of a metal catalyst belonging to the platinum group, carried out in an aqueous environment at a pH of between 6.5 and 8. The patent discloses that by controlling pH it is possible to influence the proportions between the various oxidation products and by-products. According to the information included in the patent, control of pH can be achieved through bases such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, acids or buffer solutions, as a rule maintaining a pH of less than 8. - Patent application
US 2008/0103318 (Battelle ) describes a method for the oxidation of HMF catalysed by supported platinum. Again in this case emphasis is placed on the variation in selectivity as a function of pH, which must be maintained at a value of not more than 7, possibly through the use of weak bases such as carbonates and bicarbonates. 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid is one of the oxidation products described. - The metal catalysts used in the methods for the oxidation of HMF described above are however subject to poisoning and consequent loss of catalytic activity. This means that although supported catalysts that can be easily recovered are used it is frequently necessary to replace or regenerate the catalyst, adding costs to the already expensive use of precious metals such as platinum.
- Patent application
FR 2 669 634 - The process described nevertheless requires use of a considerable quantity of catalyst, which is used in a ratio of between 1:10 and 1:30 by weight with respect to HMF, equivalent to a molar ratio of less than 1:50.
- A similar ratio between catalyst and HMF is however necessary in order to achieve a high oxidation yield of HMF to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, as will be seen from the data relating to the processes according to the abovementioned documents.
- The process for the synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid according to this invention has the particular advantage that it provides a high yield of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid using a limited quantity of catalyst. The latter may also be recycled several times while maintaining its specific catalytic activity.
- This invention relates in particular to a process for the selective synthesis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid through the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in a flow of oxygen, catalysed by a supported catalyst containing a metal of the platinum group, the said process being carried out in aqueous solution at a pH that is maintained higher than 7 and lower than 12 through the addition of a weak base selected from the group consisting of sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, dibasic and tribasic phosphate buffer solutions and their mixtures. This process provides for the use of quantities of catalyst of between 1:60 and 1:500, in moles with respect to HMF. It also provides for the possibility of recycling the catalyst several times in the reaction mixture while maintaining the reaction yield above 90%.
- With the terms "recycling" and "recycled" is meant that the same catalyst is used more than once to repeat the same process.
- It has in fact surprisingly been discovered that the maintenance of a weakly basic pH in the reaction environment, by the addition of a weak base, preserves the catalyst from poisoning. Under the process conditions according to this invention, recycling of the catalyst in fact makes it possible to obtain 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in high yields. This is the case despite the use of smaller quantities of catalyst in relation to the HMF reagent, confirming that process selectivity is substantial and that catalytic activity is effectively maintained.
- The starting material in the process according to this invention is 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). HMF may be obtained by the dehydration of sugars, in particular hexoses such as fructose and glucose. Said sugars may be obtained by the hydrolysis and possible isomerisation of cellulose or polysaccharides containing biomass. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention the HMF is thus obtained from cellulose or polysaccharides containing biomass. Cellulose or polysaccharides containing biomass are examples of raw materials which are widely available in nature and as such are a renewable source for HMF.
- The dehydration reaction may be performed by many techniques which generally use acid catalysts and may or may not use aqueous and non-aqueous solvents.
- The HMF used as the starting material for the process according to the invention may possibly contain by-products from the processing of sugars, polysaccharides or cellulosic biomasses.
- In the process according to this invention the oxidation of HMF takes place in aqueous solution and does not require the help of organic solvents in that the pH conditions have the effect that the product of the oxidation reaction present in dissociated form is readily soluble in water, as is HMF. An aqueous solution at HMF concentration up to 30% by weight is advantageously used; HMF concentrations comprised between 0.5 and 20% by weight are preferred, and HMF concentrations comprised between 1 and 10% by weight are even more preferred.
- In the process according to the invention the oxidising substance responsible for the oxidation of HMF is oxygen or a compound containing oxygen. Advantageously the reaction is performed by passing a flow of O2 into the reactor.
- Advantageously the catalyst used is based on platinum or a metal belonging to the platinum group; the use of platinum or palladium is particularly preferred. This catalyst is advantageously used in supported form. The most suitable materials for providing a support for the said catalyst are carbon or alumina. The supporting material may possibly be in the form of a nanostructure, and contains the catalyst in a quantity which is preferably between 1 and 10% by weight.
- In a preferred form of the process according to the invention the catalyst comprises 5% by weight of Pt supported on carbon.
- The catalyst used in the process according to this invention is used in small quantities in comparison with the quantity of reagent. Advantageously the molar ratio between HMF and the catalyst metal lies between 60:1and 500:1, preferably between 80:1 and 350:1, and even more preferably between 100:1 and 250:1.
- The catalyst used in the process according to the present invention is advantageously recycled in the reaction mixture at least once, and even more advantageously at least four times, maintaining the reaction yield above 90%.
- The 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation reaction is performed at a temperature of between 80 and 120°C, preferably between 90 and 110°C and more preferably between 90 and 105°C, and at a pressure of between atmospheric pressure and 10*105 Pa, advantageously between 2*105 and 8*105 Pa, more advantageously between 3*105 and 6*105 Pa.
- As is known, according to the Brønsted-Lowry theory, weak bases are chemical bases which are not completely protonated in an aqueous solution, thus resulting in a higher concentration of hydrogen ions and in a lower pH compared to strong bases such as NaOH or KOH.
- The weak bases whose presence is required for implementing this invention have a small base dissociation constant (Kb), with a pKb ≥ 1.5 at 25°C in a dilute aqueous solution (≤ 1 mol/dm3), preferably with a pKb ≥ 1.8 and more preferably with a pKb ≥ 2. In any case said bases are used in quantities necessary to maintain over the course of the HMF oxidation reaction a pH higher than 7 in the reaction environment, but lower than 12 in order to prevent the occurring of undesired side reactions such as Cannizzaro reactions.
- The weak bases according to the invention are selected from: sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, dibasic and tribasic phosphate buffer solutions and their mixtures.
- The maintenance of a weakly basic pH in the reaction environment can be achieved either by adding the weak base before starting the HMF oxidation reaction or adding part of the weak base before starting the HMF oxidation reaction and part after said reaction has started.
- When the weak base is added before starting the HMF oxidation reaction, the aqueous solution containing HMF and said weak base has advantageously a pH value higher than or equal to 8 and lower than 12, preferably higher than 8.5 and lower than 11. The presence of the weak base maintains a slightly basic reaction environment over the course of the oxidation reaction, an aqueous solution with a pH value higher than 7 and lower than 11 being obtained at the end of the oxidation reaction. Under such conditions it has unexpectedly been found that the catalyst maintains its intrinsic catalytic activity almost unchanged and its re-use makes it possible to selectively produce FDCA with an almost total conversion of HMF. Recycling may be performed many times, obtaining a clear final solution (colourless to slightly yellow) and maintaining a production yield of FDCA of more than 90%.
- When part of the weak base is added to the reaction mixture before starting the HMF oxidation reaction and part is added gradually, according to the change in pH, after the HMF oxidation reaction has started, the pH value is advantageously maintained higher than 7 and lower than 11, preferably higher than 8 and lower than or equal to 8.5.
- In a preferred embodiment of the invention poorly soluble weak bases are used. By the term "poorly voluble weak bases" are intended weak bases which have solubility in water lower than 20 g/100g H2O, measured at 20°C and under 1 *105 Pa pressure. Such poorly soluble bases can be advantageously added before starting the reaction and they gradually pass into solution during the reaction, so balancing pH changes due to the production of FDCA and maintaining a slightly basic reaction environment over the course of the oxidation reaction. Examples of preferred poorly soluble weak bases are sodium bicarbonate, calcium and magnesium carbonates, magnesium hydroxides and their mixtures. Particularly preferred is magnesium carbonate hydroxide.
- In a preferred embodiment of the invention the process provides for a preliminary stage comprising the preparation of a reaction intermediate through the oxidation of HMF with non-precious-metal catalysts such as for example copper.
- Advantageously said intermediate is 5-hydroxymethylfuran-2-carboxylic acid, HMFA. The HMFA obtained through this preliminary stage is easily purified, allowing the oxidation according to the invention to be performed using an intermediate reagent (HMFA) which is purer than the HMF, with a further positive effect on the life and activity of the catalyst.
- In this case it is necessary to use a suitable quantity of the weak base to neutralise the acidity of the reaction intermediate.
- The 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid produced according to this invention is present in aqueous solution in dissociated form on completion of the oxidation reaction. Once the catalyst has been separated off by means of known techniques FDCA can be obtained in the form of a precipitate by neutralising the aqueous solution.
